Springboard Clinic’s Play Therapy provides a fun and supportive environment where kids and teens with ADHD can improve focus, emotional regulation, communication and social skills.
“I’ve seen huge improvements in my son since starting play therapy with Springboard. He struggled to stay focused and had a hard time calming down. Now he’s gained more control of his emotions and seems more confident. He’s happier going to school, and I’m getting positive feedback from the teachers.”

Play therapy uses play to help children express their feelings, solve problems, and learn new skills. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies on conversation, play therapy engages kids with ADHD using activities like role-playing, drawing, and games, making it easier for them to work on challenges like focus, self-control, and emotional regulation in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
By engaging children in activities that require patience or turn-taking, play therapy helps kids develop better impulse control, allowing them to respond more thoughtfully over time.
